I'm not sure if I understand the question. If you mean that you can't get the game to play, try DOSBox. Monster Bash has an entry in the wiki at wiki.classicdosgames.com.

have you tried altering the CPU cycles / frameskip?

also have you checked that you are using the latest version of dosbox?

seems fine to me

I have just tried it using dosbox 0.65 and framerate 11000 and it runs fine, i only got to level 2 but noticed no slow down or other issues,

I will post again when I have had a chance to play some more

Terminal Velocity requires a lot of processing power. Many games will run in DOSBox with default settings, but Terminal Velocity will require you to increase the cycle count in order to run well. Always check the Wiki to see if someone has posted compatibility information for a game you're having trouble with.

DOSBox:

This game is playable, but cycle count should be high to correct for speed.
